I installed RAM on my iMac intel, sinch. All I had to do was get a screwdriver and unscrew the bay, pop it in, re-mount the bay, and fire it up. but it looks like from youtube.com install videos and apple documentation that the L shaped bay may be difficult to unscrew without an angled screw driver or a really tiny one, is this true? should i fear installing it? because i don't have these kind of screw drivers, just a basic one that's long. thanks.

(sorry if this may seem like a stupid question).

the day i bought my macbook, i opened up the memory upgrade enclosure with a small, straight screwdriver, no problem. the memory popped out no problem as well. the only thing i noticed is that when snapping it back in i had to push really hard, so hard that it made me a litttle nervous. otherwise, the installation was a snap. good luck.

how much ram do you have and does it make a big difference? i didn't have my imac long enough to see if there was a difference between 512mb and 1.5gb.

but if i get 1gb, i'll know if there's a difference between 512mb and 1.25gb because i'm keeping my macbook.

Does the MacBook's temperature rise by having an unmatched 1gb and a 256mb RAMs in there?
